Career transitions in psychiatry have rarely been discussed openly.
Yet, in the light of health care reform and other forces affecting
clinical practice, it is more important than ever that
psychiatrists have information about the career options within
their specialty. Career Pathways in Psychiatry: Transition in
Changing Times serves that purpose. It explores the professional
development and career choices of prominent American psychiatrists,
each of whom is identified with a particular career track and many
of whom have themselves experienced one or more career transitions.
The autobiographical accounts of the contributors survey a wide
range of career pathways in psychiatry, including clinical
practice, HMO practice, research, administration, entrepreneurism,
psychoanalysis, organized medicine, the pharmaceutical industry,
public psychiatry, occupational psychiatry, forensic psychiatry,
and military psychiatry. These accounts are as engaging as they are
informative; their anecdotal nature and conversational tone make
for pleasurable reading. References at the end of each chapter
serve as recommended reading for those who wish to learn more about
specific career options. Intended for psychiatric residents and
psychiatrists early in their careers, Career Pathways in Psychiatry
will also appeal to their more experienced colleagues, including
seasoned clinicians who have contemplated career changes. With a
preface summarizing research on career transitions in medicine and
numerous chapters shedding light on factors contributing to
resistance to change, this book will also be of interest to social
scientists, mental health administrators, and professional
recruiters.
